I was suprised today by not being able to acces google mail for my personal domain. I got 500 error. I tried a bit later as requested by google but the same error. First I thought it’s something with my domain, so I checked but no errors with my domain. Then I was mentioning this to a friend and he said he has the same problem with his gmail account, and after googling it, it seems everyone is have this problem with google email service. Google said they still don’t know what’s causing the problem but the positive side of it is that we won’t loose any emails. It was mentioned that we can still access the email accounts from a desktop email client. I was thinking to move my domain to windows live domains, but been hesitating, so today I decided to try one of my domains with windows live domains to compare it with google custom domains. Let’s hope google will resolve this error very soon.

Update: It’s working from time to time now, I see they are still working on it, so sometimes it’s working, others it’s not.

Update 2: Now everything’s back to normal. But still I am giving Windows Live Domains a try.
